Figure 1.--This Finnish school photo was taken during the 1920s in the village of Karkku, Pirkanmaa region, Finland. These look like the younger childten at the school. The children seem very nicely dressed. We suspect that they had advance notice about the school photo being taken and mother dressed them up for the occasion. Many of the boys wear suit javkets. We see both collar-buttoning and lapel jackets. We don't see sailor suits. Most of the boys wear knee pants. The girls wear dresses, many with pinafores. About half of the children are barefoot. |
